That last bit of advice shouldn't be overlooked.  If you're new to
Linux, just about any mainstream distro for which you can easily get
help is going to be a go smoother than one for which you're left with
nothing but Google and web-based forums full of incoherent advice and
wrong answers.

Personally, I prefer Gentoo, but it's probably a bit too
nuts-and-bolts for many people.
